相关介绍：
Together Through Life is the 33rd studio album by Bob Dylan, released by Columbia Records on April 28, 2009.[1]

Rumors of the album, reported in Rolling Stone magazine came as a surprise, with no official press release until March 16, 2009 — less than two months before the album's release date. Dylan produced the record under his pseudonym of Jack Frost, which he used for his previous two studio albums, "Love and Theft" and Modern Times. The album was rumored to contain "struggling love songs" and have little similarity to Modern Times.[2]

In a conversation with music journalist Bill Flanagan, published on Bob Dylan's official website, Flanagan suggested a similarity of the new record to the sound of Chess Records and Sun Records, which Dylan acknowledged as an effect of "the way the instruments were played." He said that the genesis of the record was when French film director Olivier Dahan asked him to supply a song for his new road movie, My Own Love Song, which became "Life is Hard" and "then the record sort of took its own direction." [3]

Dylan is backed on the album by his regular touring band, plus David Hidalgo of Los Lobos[4] and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.[5]

"Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" was available as a free download for one day on Monday, March 30, via Dylan's official site.

"I Feel a Change Comin' On" was released for streaming on Monday, April 6th on The Times Online website, as well as the third installment of his interview with Bill Flanagan.[6]

From Wikipedia

“活化石”今年最新录音室专辑四月底就要发行了。最近似乎经济不景气，一些老头子纷纷重出江湖，还动不动就来Deluxe Edition，让人怀疑这是唱片公司的阴谋- -。不过猜测归猜测，老爷子的新专辑还是要支持的，毕竟在商业泛滥化的大潮中还能听到如此出色的专辑实在难得。Disc 2中收录了长达一小时Bob点评的一些他自己喜欢的歌曲，感觉很阴森......

新浪的碟报：

　显然，在这两个月间，年逾六旬的美国传奇民谣摇滚歌手Bob Dylan的第33张录音室专辑成为了最能造势的一条新闻，自2006年的《Modern Time》之后，这张《Together Through Life》传达了这样一条讯息：Bob Dylan依旧笔耕不辍、宝刀未老！确实，从很久以前开始，Bob Dylan的身份便绝不仅仅只是一个普通的歌者，在很大程度上，他用他的音乐作品和人格魅力代表了美国的良心。

　　说来，Bob Dylan创作这张《Together Through Life》的原始动机有点儿无心插柳柳成荫的意思：法国导演Oliver Dahan去年邀请Bob Dylan为他的新片《My Own Love Song》谱写一首新歌，Dylan在应邀创作完成《Life Is Hard》这首歌之后萌生了其余歌曲的创作灵感，于是这张包含有10首新歌的专辑便这样应运而生。与上张专辑《Modern Time》一样，《Together Through Life》的制作人仍旧是化名为Jack Frost的Dylan本人，Dylan自己形容这张专辑时候说道这张专辑关乎一段旅程，同时也可以称作是对美国南方本土民谣的一次回归式的致敬。

　　最早引发争议的是这张专辑的封面图片，这张照片为纽约摄影师Bruce Davidson的作品，黑白的画面传达了多重意义：同性恋、公路、旅程、性等等，从这意义上而言，这个封面与《My Own Love Song》这部公路电影以及Dylan自己对这张专辑的描述，都很契合；整张专辑的十首作品仍旧用黑色幽默的手法表达了Dylan本人对于美国社会现状的重重担忧以及他的悲观主义，相信《Together Through Life》又会成为美国社会风气的一个新的风向标；Dylan沙哑的嗓音则将歌曲当中那种带点儿悲伤的情绪刻画得相当深刻，尤其是在《This Dream of You》这样的苦情歌当中。
